5 Global Urbanization Ø In 2008, more than 50% of the world population live in cities. Ø By 2050, the world is expected to add an additional 2.5 billion urban dwellers; Ø with nearly 90 percent of the increase concentrated in Asia and Africa. (United Nations, 2014). Megacities 2015 Mumbai Delhi Dhaka Tokyo Mexico City New York Paris Istanbul Moscow Cairo Karachi Kolkata Seoul Beijing Osaka Tianjin Jakarta Los Angeles Sao Paulo London Rhine-Ruhr Kabul Lahore Shanghai Chicago Baghdad Ho Chi Minh City Tehran Jeddah Surat Yangon Bangkok Bandung Toronto Rio de Janeiro Bogotá Abidjan Lagos Luanda Guatemala City Belo Horizonte Lima Population worldwide in cities Santiago Buenos Aires % Source: U.N. Population Division % % 5

6 Environmental Consequences Ø High concentrations of aerosols, exhaust gases, pollution and dust Hazardous to health Increased smog, haze, fog, clouds Source: The Associated Press Source: Suicup via Wikimedia Source: zmescience.com Environmental Consequences Ø Paved surfaces -> rainfall water -> flooding Urbanization results in more impervious surfaces, thus reducing the area where infiltration to ground water can occur. Thus, more storm water runoff occurs. Poor storm water systems are unable to prevent flooding 79 people died in July 2012 Beijing flooding Source: rendezvous.blogs.nytimes.com Source: BBC News Source: 6

7 Environmental Consequences Ø Urban heat island (UHI) and heat waves UHI urban air temperatures higher than surrounding rural areas. The average air temperature in a city with 1 million inhabitants is 1-3 degrees warmer. Heat waves: In the afternoon, the difference can be 12 degrees warmer, no night time cooling. Death rate raise during heat waves. Satellite Data 7
